Chapter 176: The Old Man
It had been a week since they had lost contact with their "family", and now they were very excited to see each other suddenly, Qin Fang smiled and hugged Yao Qingyun and Ye Yuncong.
After a period of greetings, Ye Yuncong patted Qin Fang's shoulder with a big grin and said with a smile: "Master, why did you suddenly disappear and then suddenly come back, it's mysterious!" ”
Qin Fang glanced at Ye Yuncong and teased: "For the teacher, I suffered outside, and finally came back, why are you still sarcastic about me like this?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Ye Yuncong smiled.
After the three of them got into the car, Yao Qingyun said, "Boss, where are we going, are we going back?" ”
Qin Fang shook his head, "Don't go back, I'm coming back to do something, you help me find a secluded place, I have something to discuss with you, and I don't want to tell anyone when I come back this time." ”
Yao Qingyun was keenly aware of Qin Fang's strangeness, he nodded, and drove Qin Fang and Ye Yuncong to a remote town in Yunjiang City, called Pujiang Town, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with pleasant scenery, and sparsely populated, and few people come on weekdays.
Qin Fang lived in a small hotel in Pujiang Town, and the environment was not bad.
Ye Yuncong walked around the room a few times and nodded with satisfaction, "How about the master here, it's good, there are few people and the environment is good, this is a rare green town in our Yunjiang City, and even vehicles are usually limited to enter the time." ”
Qin Fang agreed and was very satisfied with this, and then he asked Yao Qingyun to sit down with Ye Yuncong and explain what he wanted to do.
He listed the total of ninety-nine eighty-one medicinal materials needed by the Ancient Medicine Pill to Yao Qingyun and Ye Yuncong, and told them that they must get the medicinal materials as soon as possible, and he still went back.
Ye Yuncong looked at the strange medicinal herbs and muttered: "Master, I've been under your door for a while, why didn't you teach me these unique skills at the bottom of the box, if it is spread out in the future, I am your apprentice, won't it be a shame for you?" ”
Qin Fang thought about it, Ye Yuncong has been worshipping under Qin Fangmen since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, but until now, Ye Yuncong has not even learned a little fur, and he really shouldn't be a master.
Raising his eyes and glancing at Ye Yuncong, his beer belly seemed to be a little protruding, and it seemed that he was going to find a time to teach him some basic ancient martial arts.
Qin Fang patted Ye Yuncong on the shoulder, "This is really because I am busy, everyone is for the company, but you can rest assured, since I accept you as an apprentice, I will definitely do my duty as a master, but not yet." ”
Ye Yuncong also expressed his understanding, and he and Yao Qingyun left Pujiang Town on the same day.
Qin Fang was idle in the hotel alone, and he wanted to go around the town.
Pujiang Town is located in the southeast of Yunjiang City, in a city surrounded by mountains, there is a clear river in the town, the town is nestled on both sides of the river.
From beginning to end, there are only dozens of households, and the style of the house is very simple, probably the building of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, in order to better protect this monument, the Yunjiang Municipal Government strictly stipulates that no one is allowed to move into Pujiang Town at will, and no factories are allowed around.
Pujiang Town also has a time to open to the public, and it will be open to the public in June, July, August and March every year, because it is a summer resort with beautiful mountains and rivers.
However, there are extremely strict and strict regulations on time and number of people, so Pujiang Town has such a good environment here, and there are birds and flowers everywhere under a blue sky.
At noon, there were very few pedestrians in the town, and every household was lit with Miao Miao cooking smoke, a peaceful scene.
Qin Fang walked on the bluestone road by the river, looking at the bubbling water, there was an indescribable comfort in his heart, after staying in the complicated society for a long time, being in such an environment for a long time did make people feel a kind of relief spiritually.
Qin Fang looked at the crystal clear river, and even the small fish swimming could be seen, and he couldn't help but walk on the river beach, take off his shoes, and walk in the cool river water.
"Qin Fang!" A familiar voice came, and Qin Fang followed the sound and saw a tall woman standing on the shore wearing a knee-high floral dress.
Qin Fang's mind quickly flashed back to the night she had gone to Pingnan Town with her, and she had to call herself when she went to shout.
The person who came was none other than Hu Xuedi, Qin Fang hadn't seen her since he came back from Pingnan Town, but he heard that she had been promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Health Bureau because of her outstanding performance in solving the plague in Pingnan Town.
Qin Fang, who met his long-lost acquaintance, was also very excited, and he hurriedly went ashore and came to Hu Xuedi, "Sister Xuedi, why are you here too?" ”
Hu Xuedi showed a touching smile, "Can't I be here?" ”
Qin Fang showed an embarrassed expression, and Hu Xuedi suddenly grabbed Qin Fang's arm and smiled: "Come and go shopping with me!" ”
So the two took advantage of the bright sunshine to wander around in this beautiful ancient town, and the two of them took a leisurely stroll, and the quiet environment around them added a bit of leisure.
Many uninformed passers-by sighed with envy for this talented and beautiful "couple".
From the conversation, Qin Fang learned that Hu Xuedi's purpose was because of a health investigation report in the city, and Qin Fang did not understand the specific details.
In order to protect Pujiang Town, the Yunjiang Municipal Government has issued several policies, the most important of which is that the hygiene of Pujiang Town is the top priority.
This is also the reason why Hu Xuedi is here.
As he walked, the smell of food in the town wafted in, and Qin Fang also felt hunger and thirst in his stomach, so he proposed to find a place to eat.
Hu Xuedi said that the bamboo tube rice in Pujiang Town is a must, and many people will come to the restaurant, which is in the middle of a small river at the end of the town.
Since Pujiang Town is not open to the outside world now, when Qin Fang and Hu Xuedi rushed to the restaurant, there were only a few people there, but the fragrance of the bamboo tube was still undiminished.
After the two sat down, one asked for one, and after a while, the bamboo tube rice came up.
Qin Fang was eating with relish, and suddenly a person came in from the door, and she was Qin Fang's old friend, she was Zhou Jing, the person who betrayed Qin Fang again and again.
Zhou Jing's clothes seemed to be a little rustic, gray pants and yellow shirts, and her face looked very haggard.
"Why is she here?" Qin Fang couldn't help muttering, and Hu Xuedi followed Qin Fang's gaze and looked back.
"How do you know her?" Obviously, Hu Xuedi didn't know about Qin Fang's rescue of Zhou Jing, let alone that Zhou Jing had betrayed Qin Fang more than once.
Qin Fang nodded to Hu Xuedi, "Isn't it Zhou Jing, the mayor of Huaqing City, who knows her?" ”
Hu Xuedi smiled disdainfully, "What mayor, now she is the mayor of Pujiang Town, and she is also a deputy, I don't know why she suddenly plummeted after a good political performance." ”
No wonder her face was so haggard, it turned out that she was demoted, and it must have been because Bai Yun didn't do what she told her last time, so she was retaliated against by Bai Yun.
If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, which is also Zhou Jing's own fault.
Just as Qin Fang let out a burst of emotion, Hu Xuedi actually shouted: "Why did Mayor Zhou come and sit down so coincidentally!" ”
Zhou Jing didn't notice Qin Fang opposite Hu Xuedi, and immediately sat beside Hu Xuedi with a reluctant smile on her face, "It's Director Hu, how are you......?"
When she inadvertently glanced at Qin Fang, Zhou Jing's whole person was stunned, and Qin Fang was also staring at each other, speechless for a while.
Hu Xuedi didn't know why, Qin Fang finally showed a hint of an embarrassed smile, "This... What a coincidence. ”
Until now, Qin Fang still couldn't bear to blame Zhou Jing, although Zhou Jing had hurt him more than once, but she had also received the punishment she deserved.
Zhou Jing's smile was even more embarrassing, facing Qin Fang, she was either going or not leaving, but she couldn't say anything while sitting like this, and she felt very guilty about Qin Fang in her heart.
"You know?" Hu Xuedi leaned over and said carefully.
Qin Fang was a little overwhelmed, "Know... Oh... I don't know! ”
Such incoherence made Hu Xuedi even more puzzled, and just when the scene was very embarrassing, a bald old man in his fifties walked in.
After looking around, he walked straight to Qin Fang's table and smiled at Zhou Jing: "Jingjing, why are you here, I'm looking for you to go home for dinner!" ”
The old man unscrupulously hugged Zhou Jing's fragrant shoulder, and his silver smile was annoying to look at.
Zhou Jing hurriedly shook off the old man's hand and stood up, "I'm sorry, Director Hu, I still have something to do, I'll go back first!" ”
After that, Zhou Jing took the lead in leaving, and she glanced at Qin Fang before leaving, her eyes were full of guilt and remembrance, and her heart was very complicated.
And Qin Fang also noticed that the bracelet he gave to Zhou Jing was actually still on her hand.
The old man didn't say hello to Hu Xuedi, followed Zhou Jing and left, shouting "quietly" in his mouth.
Qin Fang frowned, "Who is that old man, it's disgusting!" ”
Hu Xuedi glanced back at the shaking door, "Zhou Jing, her husband, I don't know what stimulated her, since she was demoted, she has been distracted all day long, and she actually married this old guy who was half cut into the coffin." ”
This is a flower inserted in cow dung, Hu Xuedi can't help but feel very sorry for it, and as for the relationship between Qin Fang and Zhou Jing, she is not interested in pursuing it.
The two continued to eat, but at this moment, Qin Fang's heart was fluctuating.
He had actually been tempted by Zhou Jing, but in the end, the two of them still came to this point, and now she was demoted and married to an old man twenty years older than herself, which may be a punishment for her, of course, it is also possible that this is her best destination.
I don't know what kind of expressions the two would use to face each other when he and Zhou Jing met again after the transition.
After eating, Qin Fang and Hu Xuedi chatted for a while, "Qin Fang, I've been busy with back pain these days, can you find a way to massage me." ”
Qin Fang was disrespectful to Hu Xuedi's proposal, but it was really not good in this public, so Qin Fang proposed to find a quiet place.
But I don't know if Hu Xuedi did it deliberately or intentionally, she smiled at Qin Fang and said, "Quiet place, then go to your room!" ”
